Risk signals for cervical cancer
The high-risk groups for cervical cancer include premature sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, recurrent cervical infections, smoking, and mental stress. Women should undergo regular checkups even if they have no symptoms at 35. These high-risk groups should pay special attention to these special signals:
1. Increased vaginal discharge and no abnormal odor in the early stage.
Abnormal vaginal discharge, which can be mixed with blood and accompanied by a foul odor.
Irregular vaginal bleeding is commonly seen during sexual intercourse, bleeding after exerting force on the lower abdomen, and postmenopausal bleeding.
After the occurrence of cervical cancer, there may be urinary irritation, frequent urination, urgency, bloody stools, pelvic and lower limb pain, and lower limb swelling.
Early cervical cancer is often asymptomatic, with increased vaginal discharge, irregular bleeding, or contact (sexual intercourse) bleeding. Sometimes it is difficult for the naked eye of a doctor to distinguish between right and wrong. Cervical cytology smears (or C but) are simple and reliable, and a large amount of cancer prevention census data shows that 90% to 95% of cervical cell smears can detect early cervical cancer.
The occurrence and development of cervical cancer undergo a gradual evolutionary process. From a few years to several decades, prevention awareness can be raised and regular surveys can be conducted. Timely diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions and early cancer will effectively prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer and reduce its mortality rate. At present, the medical community is also actively developing cervical cancer vaccines to prevent infection and precancerous lesions. Vaccines 2 and 3 are expected to be approved after the year.
Cervicitis prevents cervical cancer
Cervical erosion is a common disease among women, with approximately 20% or more women suffering from this disease. There is a certain relationship between cervical erosion and cervical cancer, but it is not necessarily a causal relationship.
Cervical erosion is a phenomenon of chronic cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis often occurs in married women, but it can also occur in unmarried women without a sexual history. The reason may be related to its estrogen metabolism. Married women are also affected by various factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, and multiple induced abortions, which can damage the cervical mucosa and then infect bacteria or viruses; Failure to pay attention to hygiene and infection during postpartum and menstrual periods; The inducement of chronic cervicitis is not paying attention to sexual hygiene or having too frequent sexual activity, which affects the self purification of the vagina.
